However, it was small, with decent armour, fast, reliable and over 1,000 a month were planned to be produced in 45. It consumed less resources than a Stug and it was better protected.
A small, easy to build, easy to maintain and with a respectable punch was the definition of the Hetzer. Also, Switzerland built them as the G13 after the war so, it couldn't be that bad.
(yes I'm an Hetzer fan!)
